  <description>With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in I Feel Bad About My Neck, a candid, hilarious look at women who are getting older and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.The woman who brought us When Harry Met Sally . . . , Sleepless in Seattle, You&amp;#8217;ve Got Mail, and Bewitched, and the author of best sellers Heartburn, Scribble Scribble, and Crazy Salad, discusses everything&amp;#8212;from how much she hates her purse to how much time she spends attempting to stop the clock: the hair dye, the treadmill, the lotions and creams that promise to slow the aging process but never do.&#160;Oh, and she can&amp;#8217;t stand the way her neck looks.&#160;But her dermatologist tells her there&amp;#8217;s no quick fix for that.Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent.&#160; She recounts her anything-but-glamorous days as a White House intern during the JFK years (&amp;#8220;I am probably the only young woman who ever worked in the Kennedy White House that the President did not make a pass at&amp;#8221;) and shares how she fell in and out of love with Bill Clinton&amp;#8212;from a distance, of course.&#160; But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age.Utterly courageous, wickedly funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a book of wisdom, advice, and laugh-out-loud moments, a scrumptious, irresistible treat.</description>
